David and Mama Sanchez talk about how serving people who stutter has shaped their own experiences with stuttering and parenting. David speaks to how service can be a great avenue for people who stutter to experience the “stuttering community” for the first time, and Mama Sanchez provides insight on how this can be a bittersweet experience for parents who wish they could have provided these experiences for their child earlier in life. The Sanchez duo also debut “Ask Us Anything” to answer your questions, this time talking about the “do’s and don’ts” when speaking with people who stutter.
Nathan and Padma Mallipeddi join the Sanchezes for the second half of the show to talk about Nathan’s experience founding and leading the Southern California Stuttering Service--a nonprofit organization providing people who stutter access to high-quality access stuttering therapy--and his mom’s journey in supporting Nathan and his speech. Nathan shocks his mom in a hilarious game of 2 Truths and a Lie to wrap up the show.
